2015 5 oz Silver ATB Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, DE

2015 5 oz Silver ATB Bombay Hook, DE - The much-anticipated America the Beautiful Silver Bullion Coin™ Program continues with the fourth release of 2015: Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge in Delaware! The reverse of these large Silver coins features a great blue heron and an egret in the marsh.

Bombay Hook’s 16,000 acres include freshwater pools, swamps, upland forests, agricultural fields and one of the largest unaltered tidal salt marshes in the Mid-Atlantic region. It was established as a national site in 1937 and is a large refuge points for migrating birds between the northern breeding grounds and southern wintering areas.

The National Park System was established through legislation spearheaded by President Theodore Roosevelt, who was also responsible for the Antiquities Act, which enabled presidents to proclaim historical sites or national landmarks. By the end of Roosevelt's term, he had proclaimed 18 national parks. This practice was continued by later presidents until there were more than 100 national parks and monuments. Forty-nine of these remain today, while others have been retitled or reclassified. Theodore Roosevelt can now been seen as one of the four faces on Mount Rushmore because of his tireless efforts to create a national park system that would preserve America's most valuable treasures for future generations to see and admire.
